  • May 27: Advice Alert: Wheat producers: Finish 2025-crop sales... Wheat prices have fallen under pressure over the past week as peace prospects in the Middle East have weighed on prices, negating persistent weakness in crop conditions in the U.S. We do not carry over old-crop stocks into the new-crop marketing year. We advise selling the remaining 10% of old-crop stocks to get to 100% sold. Production concerns remain in 2026-27 amid urea flow disruptions and a large drop in acreage, prompting patience on new-crop sales. You should already be 30% sold on expected 2026-crop production.
